Many homeowners are faced with the decision of whether to use natural gas or oil for their home heating system. When you’re thinking long term about comfort and efficiency, an oil furnace is often the better choice. Andersen Oil Company makes it easy for residents in the Mystic, Groton, and Norwich areas of Connecticut to keep their oil storage tanks fully stocked by providing reliable and affordable heating oil delivery services.

With more than 45 years in the business, the company has seen their clients enjoy the many benefits of oil heating systems, including the following:

• Longevity: An oil furnace can last two to three decades if it has been properly maintained and professionally serviced over the years. Compare that to a gas furnace’s average 15-year lifespan, and you can see why oil is a worthwhile investment.
• Cost Efficiency: Oil heating systems have always been an efficient way to generate heat and hot water, but newer models have improved those numbers even more, typically hovering at a performance rate ranging from 85-95%. This results in lower heating costs.

• Safety: With an oil furnace, you’ll have peace of mind about the safety of your home heating system. Oil won’t explode into flames unless it is exposed to a very high ignition source. It also won’t leave behind odors or soot.
• Convenience: Burning 300 degrees hotter than natural gas, it takes oil hardly any time at all to heat a structure or produce hot water. This is especially convenient when you’re trying to heat your home during the winter and when showers need to be taken at the same time or one right after the other.
• Long-Term Supply: You can count on there being an abundant supply of heating oil available, which helps to drive the costs of an oil furnace down. This is different from other sources of fuel, which are frequently in limited supply.

There are many advantages of using an oil furnace, and Andersen Oil Company will help you make sure you never run out of the quality oil you need.
